Thanks for this amazing test~

The main things that I learned about myself are that I am very calm, my emotions are pretty stable and I am not aggressive or irritable. Also, I have a messy desk because of my personality

2. What are your top 3 strengths according to this test?

I am original, creative, curious and complex. I am relatively open to new experiences;

I am introverted, reserved, inhibited and quiet.

I tend to be calm, relaxed, secure and hardy. Even in tense situations.

3. How can the strengths you identified on both tests help you in your personal life?

The results tell me to stay curious, creative, and imaginative. It tells me to stay who I am because I am the most special one, and for my personal life, I will achieve success if I stay who I am and be who I am.

4. How can the strengths you identified on both tests help you in a leadership role on 7 Cups and in your career?

As the result showed, I am introverted, when talking on 7 Cups, it makes me feel much more relaxed, and I am not very aggressive, the member can trust on me.
Also, I am so stable and hardy. Whatever the situation is, I can always feel secure. That provides both myself and the member with a maximum sense of security because it's hard for me to feel uncomfortable in the chat and ask the member to switch a listener.

In my career, I may not be capable of the social situation, but I have many ideas, and I am willing to try out new things, find an easier way to solve problems.

You probably have a messy desk! (Your percentile: 3)

Extraversion

You tend to shy away from social situations. (Your percentile: 30)

Agreeableness

You tend to consider the feelings of others. (Your percentile: 73)

Negative Emotionality

You are a generally anxious person and tend to worry about things. (Your percentile: 91)

​​​​​​

1. What were the main things you learned about yourself?

I didn't really learnt a lot about me as I kind of knew about all these traits but the percentile on the negative emotionality definitely surprised me. I wasn't expecting it to be 91 percentile. Probably it might be because I'm more nervous and anxious these days which might have affected the test results. Other than that, I already knew that I'm very much welcoming to try knew things, I'm messy and that I recently became more introverted. From the past two and a half years, my extraversion is slowly and surely reducing which is alright with me. As for the, 73 percent on the agreeableness, I knew about that as well.

2. What are your top 3 strengths according to this test?

According to the test, my AGREEABLENESS, OPEN MINDEDNESS are my top strengths. I don't know which other trait could be identified as a strength other than those two. Probably introversion.

3. How can the strengths you identified on both tests help you in your personal life?

My Introversion helps me to relax and have more time to myself away from the drama of the society which is definitely helpful to focus on my own self. Also, my open mindedness helps me be unjudgemental towards others and agreeableness makes me feel very strongly which could be both a strength and a weekness.

@GlenM

1. What were the main things you learned about yourself?
The results reaffirm what I have been aware of, but it also highlighted the things I have been trying to work on.
2. What are your top 3 strengths according to this test?
Extraversion, agreeableness and open mindedness

extraversion (though balanced at 60%) was interesting result as I was INFP with 16 personalities (meyers briggs). I think the variation though just affirms what I was thinking before, being really in the middle. It highlights the ambiguity of consistent measure and that different sources take or exclude different things into consideration or weight things differently. Over time I have noted I generally am in the middle with elements of both experiences.
3. How can the strengths you identified on both tests help you in your personal life?

They already do make a difference as they havent changed how I interact with people, which is generally positive even in tough conversations.

4. How can the strengths you identified on both tests help you in a leadership role on 7 Cups and in your career?

They can allow me to funnel information and situations to interact/ act from my strengths.

@GlenM

For Openness, I am creative and curious about the world around me, while being open to new experiences. I scored at the 78th percentile.
For Conscientiousness, My score tells me I am sort of a messy person. I fall in the 8th percentile. For Extraversion, I discovered that I am both social and reserved depending on the situation and people I am with. scored at the 47th percentile. For Agreeableness, I am neither too forgiving nor irrtable. I fall in the 48th percentile.
For Neuroticism, I discovered I tend to be somewhat anxious and nervous about difficult situations. I scored at the 66th percentile.

1. What were the main things you learned about yourself?
After taking this test, I do believe I have learnt a few new traits of myself, which have helped me better understand my ow personality as well as the strengths and weaknesses I have as a person. I was somewhat surprised by result for Agreeableness as I always thought I was more of a forgiving person but this helps me work more to become a better person. I was satisfied with my scores for Extraversion as I agree that I am more outgoing and social around people I am comfortable with and rather reserved around new people. My score Neuroticism made me realize that being anxious and nervous about things is a part of my personality and there's nothing wrong with being a little worried about the outcome of some situations.

2. What are your top 3 strengths according to this test?

After doing the test, I understand that my top 3 traits are; Agreeableness for which I scored in the middle percentile which I believe shows that I am a quite forgiving person but not so much, as allowing people to work over me or use me. Another one was, Openness which was pretty high, I have high curiosity, creativity and I am always open to new experiences and ideas. Lastly, I think having sort of high score in Neuroticism might be one of my strong suites as I pay attention to details and worry about things/tasks until I complete them or get them right which could be very helpful.

3. How can the strengths you identified on both tests help you in your personal life?
Completing both the tests were extremely helpful for me for both my personal and professional self, as I identified certain strengthes from both that enable me to be a stong and caring person. I will use the result from both the tests to make myself more level-headed, kind individual that believes in motivating others to be their best self while working hard in my own roles as well.

4. How can the strengths you identified on both tests help you in a leadership role on 7 Cups and in your career?
Being part of the 7 Cups community has given me a lot of strength and helped me become a better person overall. Through the tests, I discovered certain traits/skills I posses which would help me interact better with members on 7 cups and as a leader, I might now be netter equipped to help others bring out the best in them while helping them in areas of difficulty. I would definitely encourage others to take these tests and understand more about themselves and hpw they ca improve. From the career side, I would really like to apply what I have learnt through these tests about myself while helping others as a therapist and work on giving my best effort in all the work I do to help make a difference in the world.

1. What were the main things you learned about yourself?

I learned that I enjoy having novel experiences and seeing things in new ways.

2. What are your top 3 strengths according to this test?

Curious, reliable, good-natured.

3. How can the strengths you identified on both tests help you in your personal life?

I am good-natured, meaning I go with the flow and am very agreeable. It's easier to be good-natured rather than question everything and everyone with suspicion.

4. How can the strengths you identified on both tests help you in a leadership role on 7 Cups and in your career?

By being curious, I know how to ask good open ended questions in order to help me get to know people better. I'm reliable, which means I will be on time for things and will always be a listening ear.
